French Powerpoint

Votre revue de presse

PRESS REVIEWS (weeks 3-14):

This assignment is independent from the content-based course, but will develop your cultural awareness about the francophone world. It happens once a semester on the due date you chose in this .

  1. Once during the semester, you will prepare a voiced PPTX on a segment of news/current event IN FRENCH about your personal interest happening in a Francophone country (can be from a YouTube video, a journal article, a documentary, an Instagram page, as long as it is in French and current (do not choose a media that is not in French, or not about French or Francophone news). See the non-exhaustive list of medias links below). Power Point is part of Office that comes with UCF, so you should have no problem to use it. You will embed your PPTX to this discussion.

You can refer to my at the beginning of the module to see what a voiced PPTX is 😉

You will present this news in a 4-5 slides (plus first slide of presentation, and last slide for link to your source), voiced-PPTX. You will write and record your presentation on the slides. You must explain the main points of the news and the reason why you chose it and must incorporate the source of the news as a link. The first slide (your name..) and the last slide (the link) do not count in the 4-5 slides. You will attach your PPTX on its due date as a response to this discussion.

  1. Then, you will ask 5 questions about your presentation in the form of a true false quiz that you will give to your instructor by your due date BY WEBCOURSES EMAIL ONLY. With this information, the instructor will create a quiz for the students to answer after reading/listening to your PPTX presentation. The quiz ensures that you understand what you are presenting, and that the students pay attention to and understand your presentation.

  • YOU WILL USE THIS DISCUSSION TO POST YOUR PPTX, THEREFORE THE DEADLINE DEPENDS ON YOUR SPECIFIC PRESENTATION DUE DATE: embed your video IN THIS DISCUSSION by your due date.
  • DO NOT ADD YOUR QUIZ TO THIS DISCUSSION. Send your quiz to the instructor via webcourses email by your due date.
  • DO NOT FORMAT THE QUIZ: example of how to put your questions in the email:

le prsident de la rpublique est Nicolas Macron (faux)

la personne qui parle est franaise (vrai)

etc with your 5th question.


Here is a perfect example of a YouTube video that could be used for your revue de presse: it’s current (happening now, 1/7/26), from a Francophone site (Canadian news) about a Francophone issue (snow storm in Paris and northern France — you will see Lille, a city I grew up in for a minute):
